SAN FRANCISCO MAN BECOMES FIRST AMERICAN TO GRASP THE SIGNIFICANCE OF IRONY

San Francisco: The Daily Telegraph spoke to Jay Fullmer, 38, who became the first American to get to grips with the concept of irony yesterday.

“It was weird,” Fullmer said, “I was in London and, like, talking to this guy and it was raining and stuff and he said, like, great weather, or something like that”.

“And I thought-wait a minute, it’s like, no way is it great weather.” Said Fullmer.

Fullmer soon realized that the other man’s ‘mistake’ was deliberate. “This guy was pretty cool about it,” Fullmer said.

Fullmer, who is 39 next month and married with two children, aged 8 and 3, said he planned to use irony frequently in future.

“I’m using it all the time,” he said. “Like last weekend, I was like grilling steaks and I like burned them to shit and I said, ‘Great weather.’”
